I should have known better than to buy something just because it’s hyped up. Maybe it’s just the Orange Cream soda flavor—but wow, yuck. It has this sharp, acidic kick that lingers in your mouth, followed by a sickeningly sweet aftertaste.
After finally reading the can (which I definitely should have done first), I realized the acidic bite comes from apple cider vinegar—like in Kombucha, another vinegar-based drink I’m not a fan of. And that overly sweet aftertaste? Stevia. Another hard pass for me.
I get it—this soda is supposed to be “healthy,” packed with prebiotics and other good-for-you ingredients. That’s great in theory, but if it tastes awful, I’m not going to force myself to drink it. I don’t eat Brussels sprouts for the same reason!
Maybe this kind of drink works for some people, but if you’re already happy with diet soda or zero-sugar options, I say stick with those. At least they taste decent—at least, according to my taste buds. Add prebiotics another way to your diet.
